I love a faux BLT, especially during this time of the year when the T’s are in top form. Admittedly, I was never a bacon lover so just putting veggie things between bread is fine with me. My favorite version of a BLT sandwich is the crispy Shiitake BLT that’s on page 171 in the cookbook (it’s the closest to the real deal!). I also love this smoky marinated tempeh as the “meat.”

But this time, as I was deciding whether or not to “bacon” some coconut, Jack had the idea to call this a Bean-LT. The B in this version is the Bean spread that I used here instead of mayo.

This white bean spread is thick and tangy. It’s made with pureed cannellini beans, lemon, capers, and garlic – all ingredients that go well with fresh tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, and grainy Whole Foods Market Seeduction® bread. A few pinches of smoked paprika add a little smokiness to this otherwise very fresh sandwich.

UM! I can’t get over how amazing this looks!!! I just picked up the most incredible looking tomatoes and was looking for something special to use them on! Also, am heading to a bakery with the most out of this world rye bread tomorrow. That sounds amazing toasted with these toppings! Beans are so versatile. Wonder if adding a drop or two of liquid smoke to the bean spread would help give it a dash of that smokey bacon flavor? Or would the flavors be too weird together? Either way, I’m pinning this and making it this week! Love it! 🙂

We lightly mash the avocado for “ease of handling.” It’s a great sub for mayo. While the bean goop is a great idea, I’d probably only do it if I had it leftover from another use. BLATs are quick and easy food at our house.

That’s a beautiful looking sandwich I wish I had right now!
While my mouth is watering looking at these pictures and my stomach is lost without this lovely food but my brain can play in the tasty thoughts of oozing heirloom tomato juice down my wrists as I bite into heaven giggling while avocado slices try to slip out the side.
love love it – and now gotta have it;)

I love this recipe. Making it for the 2nd time in two weeks – and I never do that. So easy and so yummy. One caveat to folks out there – if you use a mix of wild rices, it needs to be cooked a bit longer. Not sure how much longer actually because I needed to serve it so finished off the rice portion in the microwave. Going to do white rice like the recipe calls for this time.clean water clean earth

I’m so obsessed with this bread. White bean puree is pure bliss really. Can’t wait to try my hand at this super awesome recipe. Loved it completely. Thank you so much for sharing this super awesome recipe with all of us. Best wishes and Regards.
